Keep Track of Codename One Changes & Duplicates

One of my pet peeves when we switched to github was that email notifications never worked for me. For most repositories I had to setup my own account just to get emails. I’m guessing that this is a common problem for those of us who are used to emails notifying us of changes.

So you can now subscribe to email notifications from this group and you will get an email every time one of us commits something to the repositories of Codename One!

You will notice that the group has some commits from 2012…​

This is actually an old group that was used for commit notification a while back and eventually got deprecated as it wasn’t necessary for google code. There was really no point in creating a new group as this one worked fine.

If you see an issue in a commit please don’t post to that group as we’d like to keep it completely based on the automated emails

ConnectionRequest Duplicates

ConnectionRequest had special protection from duplicate requests for the same data. This was added to prevent cases such as multiple image downloaders fetching the same image over and over again.

The mistake was that we set the duplicate detection mode to be on by default which made some networking issues really hard to track down consistently. We decided to flip the switch setDuplicateSupported(true) will no longer be required as it will be the default.
